    Folder Icons


    I have a folder on my desktop with my game shortcuts in it set at show Large Icons, but after last months windows update it always opens with the icons in List mode, is there a way to always make it show Large Icons again, not really a problem but I like the large view over list view.

    :)

  2. How to use system folder icons for user created folders ?

    There's only one way: Create a folder named "Extra" on your new Memory Card. Now you can go inside and create folder with System Folder icon included. The trick is type these folder name as follow: predef. It can be used for sub folder (wallpaper, screen
    saver) as well

    Note that only 11 following folders/sub folders can have System Folder icon on Memory Card. Here's the full list name:

    Extra

    -predefcollcetions (will have Collection Folder icon)

    -predefgames (will have Game Folder icon)

    -predefgaphics (will have Graphic Folder Icon)

    --predefwallpapers (------------------------)

    --predefscreensavers (------------------------)

    -predefmusic (will have Music Files Folder icon)

    -predeftrecordings (will have Recording Folder icon)

    -predeftthemes (will have Themes Folder icon)

    -predefttones (will have Tones Folder icon)

    --predefringtones (---------------------------)

    --predefalerttones (---------------------------)

  3. desktop icons, taskbar shortcut and folder icons are invisible

    yeah, I was expecting that it would come to this, so it´s okay, I´m just a little dissapointed, cause I bought win 10 like 11 days ago and then this happens out of the blue. Installing all my apps is going to be exhausting, but I just want everything to
    work and to look organised and clean, so I will push trough it. I am just wondering if I can somehow prevent this from happening again.

    but hey, thank you again, for your time and help.

    Have a great day!

    Mark.
